Holistic Detective Agency

This show is destined for greatness, based on a novel by Douglas Adams (author of A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy), from the studio that produces The Walking Dead. Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency is a quirky tale of detective Dirk Gently (Samuel Barnett) and his reluctant assistant Todd Brotzman (Elijah Wood) as they solve a high-profile murder.

Prey

Prey follows Detective Sergeant Susan Reinhart as she works to solve two complex cases involving former police gone rogue. Her life has recently been upheaved by a failed marriage and her work is her sole focus. This interwoven, dramatic tale paints a picture of what is right, what is wrong, and what is somewhere in between.

Despite harsh conditions throughout the year, these creatures thrive in this wild land of rivers, lakes and glaciers.
